Onion skin and bone snap

[Hamedss]

Q1: how do I see bones through the onion skin?
Q2: is it possible to enable bone snap in animation ( not only frame0?)

Q1: use ossos virtuais. https://mohoscripts.com/script/ss_virtual_bones
Q2: I don't know how to answer if there is a possibility.

thanks Lucas. I will try that

Q2: is it possible to enable bone snap in animation ( not only frame0?)

yes:
translation - snap to grid. View / Enable Grid (turns grid snapping on by default; can be turned off with View / Disable Grid Snapping)
rotation: shift-(mouse drag) - snaps to n*45 degrees

no:
scale (at least I can't see a mechanism!)

did you have something else in mind?

I think he means bones snapping to other bones.

@Hamedss, Bones snapping only works at frame 0. If you need bones to go back to their frame 0 position while on later frames, you can use the Reset Bone command, which resets selected bones. You'll want to assign a shortcut to it since it doesn't have one by default. (I have Reset Bones/Points assigned to a button in my MQC panel, and I use this button all the time during animating.)

Another option is to set your bone positions as regular actions so you can re-use these keyframed positions. (Personally, I just eyeball it and move on.)

Yes the grid snapping is working perfectly. Thanks but not working for scale.

Oh very nice idea. I will try that. Thank you. But I think moho needs snapping system to points and bones. It can constraints to x y axis.
